Chapter 185 The Royal Court at your fingertips (4K+ chapters)

The army of both sides had not yet contacted, but the extremely tragic scout war started first.

A hundred-man team, who was originally left behind by the ten thousand cavalry, sent out to greet him first. When he saw that there were no similarities with the cavalry on the grassland, there were no big cavalry left, except for all riding horses, and he knew that the situation was going bad.

The centurion Dari Achi, who led the team, sent someone back to report the news, while taking the others to turn into a scout on the spot, trying to figure out the situation of the opposite army first. In fact, there is nothing to touch. A high-sounding banner, the banner of an old opponent that has been passed down from generation to generation and rooted in the depths of memory, cannot be recognized by anyone.

But it is impossible not to understand the situation. The Ming army did not run away, but the number of people? Judging from the vibrations from the ground alone, the approximate number of people was about 100,000. However, judging from the smoke and dust raised on the opposite side, there must be at least 150,000 cavalrymen, otherwise such a large amount of smoke and dust would not be raised at all.

The Ming cavalry, who was leading the army, also discovered the 100-man team on the opposite side. The same 100-man team immediately left the marching cavalry team and chased the 100-man team that was inquiring about their own situation.

Dariachi spitted resentfully, and after shouting, he took his cavalrymen around the circle, intending to take the 100-man team opposite first and waste it slowly.

The centurion of the Centurion, who was assigned to pursue Dariachi, saw the Centurion of Haribari, hanging himself from afar, and immediately chased after him.

After the two sides made a few circles, Dariachi estimated that the opponent's cavalry was a few miles away from him, so he slowed down his horse's speed, and then turned around and killed him back.

When Haribari saw that the hundreds of horses from Lin Dan Khan's tribe finally stopped going around in circles, he was also very happy. He immediately urged the horse to move forward and led his 100-man team to kill him.

I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen’s strategy was very correct to choose the persimmon first!

Since bringing the grassland, they have slaughtered more than ten small tribes affiliated with the Chahar tribe of Lin Danhan along the way, and have slowly established confidence in the ten thousand cavalry that were beaten by Lin Danhan and Zhuoliktuhan who were beaten by Lin Danhan. They now firmly believe that as long as they are led by Emperor Chongzhen, they can once again become the invincible iron cavalry that beat the whole world.

So the current situation is that Haribari, who must have dared not fight head-on with Lin Dankhan's cavalry, became very tough at this time and dared to charge against Daria Achi's 100 team with his own 100 team.

But Dariachi was angry. These people were obviously Mongolians of the same race as him. Now they were willing to be the lackeys of the Han people and brought the Han people to fight the Mongolians! These dog slaves who betrayed Changshengtian should die! The angry Dariachi hated the most at this time not the Ming army, but the betrayers who brought the Ming army to the grassland. They were the most hateful! If it weren't for them, how could the Ming army find the royal court on the grassland? Supplies and water sources, as well as the march routes along the way, could all kill the Ming army in this vast grassland.

Dariachi was angry, and Haribari was even more angry. Originally, he was grazing in Neikharkha in Liaodong with Zhuoliktukhan, and occasionally responded to the Ming Dynasty's call to fight against a wave of Jiannu and received some rewards. This little life was simply too beautiful.

But because of Lin Danhan's bullshit idea of ​​regaining Genghis Khan's glory, Nekharkha was removed from the list! His wife, his lovely daughter, and the little man who would definitely become a sage, were gone! There was nothing left!

Both sides were filled with hatred. Just under the vast grassland, under the blue sky and white clouds, a drama of brothers fighting each other and killing each other was staged between the same clans.

After the first round of confrontation, Daria Achi, regardless of his broken right arm, grabbed the sabre with his left hand, looked at Haribari on the opposite side and said angrily: "You traitors who betrayed Changshengtian and the Khan! Changshengtian will definitely punish you, you should be dragged to death by the horse!"

Haribari had a expressionless face, and the hatred that could not be concealed in his heart made him not even interested in answering. He just raised his saber again and rushed towards Dariachi.

Chongzhen was far behind the army, looking at the dust rising, muttering in his heart, this fucking similar to the sand storm in later generations. Fortunately, it was only temporary, otherwise wouldn't I have to eat sand in the capital in the future?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of random thoughts, wisely did not choose to intervene in command this time. He is a novice on the battlefield, and it is better not to interfere in such a battle of tens of thousands of people. If he loses troops due to his own reasons, it is really unpaid.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the speed of the team in front began to slow down until it slowly stopped. Chongzhen rushed up curiously, but saw the team left by the Lin Danhan court opposite him sorting out his own queue, while Bater, the commander of his side, also ordered the order to sort out the queue and rushed towards him.

The war is imminent, so how can we tolerate those red tape? Battel didn't get off his horse, but just stroked his chest and said, "The great Tian Khan, the people on the other side, seem to want to fight the decisive battle outside the court of the pseudo-Khan Lindan."

Chongzhen, a battlefield novices, did he understand the ways in it? When he saw Bartle coming, he asked, "Why didn't my ten thousand men rush in and kill them all?"

Bater patiently explained: "The great Tiankhan, they have ten thousand cavalry and are protected by fences. If they attack forcibly, it is not easy to get the lambs in the fence. If they fight to the decisive battle outside their fences, as long as they take away more than ten thousand cavalry, their fences will not be of much use."

Chongzhen nodded and said to Bater: "Go and let go. I believe that my future will not disappoint me. I believe that you will definitely bring the pain of blood and fire to the enemy."

When Bater heard this, he bowed again and said, "As for the order, the great Khan of Heaven."

After Bater returned, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief. This way of speaking on the grassland was so fucking trouble. It was obvious that a few words were metaphors and something, which made him feel furious. Since the plan had changed, Chongzhen simply sent someone to notify Liu Xingzuo and Zhang Zhiji, ordering them to change the plan and no longer play any tricks of surrounding three queu and one. He simply arranged to intercept ten thousand cavalry, and let the new recruits in the Beijing camp see the blood.

Although the ten thousand cavalry left by Lin Danhan in the royal court was not as good as the elite of the 100,000 troops who followed him to Xuanfu south, he was not a waste. The ten thousand cavalry commander Arislan was not an ordinary person. Someone on the other side was talking about something, so Arislan naturally saw clearly, but couldn't hear clearly.

The ten thousand people sent by himself came back and said that the army opposite should not have so many people. Although the dust was raised, judging from the sound of horse hooves and the vibration of the ground, there should be less than 100,000 people. If it is based on the configuration of one person and two horses, it should be around 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Arislan believed in the judgment of the scouts he sent out. There was basically no big difference between these judgments made by the sound of horse hooves and the vibration of the ground.

But I really couldn't imagine when the Ming army had the courage to go out? Didn't the Ming Dynasty be beaten like a dog by the savages from the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe? The khan from his family also brought his soldiers to the so-called Xuanfu of the Ming people. So where did such a large team come from?

Arislan, who couldn't figure it out, simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it. This is the royal court, the great people of the Golden Family, the relatives of the Khan, and the families of his brothers under him, and he could not retreat. Since that's the case, let the Ming people see what Mongolian cavalry is, and tell them with facts that the cavalry must be the strong Mongolian ones!

Just when Arislan and Bater made the decision to fight outside the royal court at the same time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp also sorted out the queues under the slogan of their own households. The difference was that they chose to dismount the horse and the lineage.

Emperor Chongzhen confiscated the homes of the eight major locust merchants and lived a happy life. Although the Beijing camp was equipped with cavalry, muskets were also brought out. There was also a special cavalry in the garrison carrying a horse-resisting rifle.

Now the Wanqi who was leading the formation in front was going to hedge against the Wanqi opposite, so they set up an interception line in the rear. When both sides passed by, the Wanqi opposite would have no room for maneuver and could harvest a wave of heads.

At this time, the grassland became more and more quiet. Even if there were brave people in the royal court watching, they were afraid that someone would find him, so they would hold their breath tightly. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, if this scene was made into a movie, it would be necessary to add the special effects of dark clouds covering the top, cyclones rising, and grass leaves were either low or flying, which was really thrilling.

The quiet that had been suppressed was broken. Arislan could no longer bear this depressing atmosphere, so he ordered the tribe to temporarily piece together five thousand cavalry composed of some slaves to rush forward. After the first wave of five thousand cavalry rushed out, Aslan also drew out his sabre, waved forward, and ordered the troops to advance.

Seeing that the opponent had already made an attacking move, Battel drew out the saber without hesitation, shouted and took the lead and rushed forward.

How far is the distance between the two sides? It is just a few miles away. This distance can allow the horses to reach the maximum sprint speed when the two sides contact. In a moment, the cavalry of both sides have been strangled together.

Wanqi fights against Wanqi, and they are prepared, it is impossible to have any situation of drilling through the formation. Unless it is like Wanyan Hong's miserable old fox, the width of the array is wide enough, but the depth is insufficient, and due to carelessness, no scout has been sent to reconnaise the situation behind.

With the collision of war horses and the slash of weapons, the cavalry on both sides fought together. However, the ten thousand cavalry led by Batel were prepared, and the support of infantry in the rear was as the confidence. At this moment, the cavalry of Arislan was not entangled, but just rushed forward, sprinted, and then sprinted again.

It was just a cup of tea that Batel's ten thousand horses had already passed through the ten thousand horses of Arislan and made a large maneuver in the direction where the Lindan Khan's court was located, preparing to return the war horse and make another wave.

At this time, Arislan was in a bad mood. He originally thought there were 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry opposite him, but he never thought that only tens of thousands of cavalry were fighting with him, and those who stayed behind had already dismounted and turned into infantry, and were constantly advancing in his own direction.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Arislan tribe was about to come to him, the new army and all the hundreds of households in the Beijing camp ordered: "The first row is ready to resist the rifle! Raise the shield! The second row is ready to shoot the muskets! The third row is ready to drop bombs!"

While Liu Xingzuo and the British Duke were training the new army and the Beijing camp, they completely implemented the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen! Although the new army and the Beijing camp soldiers who were trained like machines were nervous and did not know whether they could bring themselves a sense of security, since there were military orders, they could not disobey the three thousand cavalry of the Xibe tribe were regarded as law enforcement teams and were staring at them.

As long spears were inserted into the ground, the gun rod was loaded on the shield erected in the front, and the tip of the spear pointed obliquely at Arislan and others who were rushing towards him.

When the Arislan's cavalry rushed to a distance of about fifty meters, the general flags of the new army and the Beijing camp shouted according to the previous training regulations: "Shoot!"

After thinking about it with a crackling gun, Arislan's side was surprised to find that there were not many casualties on his side, and it was even worse than the casualties when the cavalry hedged just now.

The person in front of Arislan who was about to continue charging heard some shouts from the Ming army's array: "Drop bombs!"

Like Jiannu, the Mongolian cavalry, who had never seen the original version of grenades, did not take the small bottle falling from the sky seriously. It was the carelessness this time, but it caused heavy losses to the Mongolian cavalry.

The small bottles fell first and then, either exploded in the air and injured people, or injured horse legs after falling to the ground. What's even more unethical is that this thing has a big sound. Many Mongolian cavalry's war horses were frightened by the sound, but they tended to be frightened, which forced the cavalry to devote their energy to arranging the war horses under their crotch.

At this time, the Ming army's loading had been completed, but they heard the many general flags shouting: "Shoot! Prepare for the second row!"

At this time, the Ming army's loading speed was greatly improved due to the powerful force of Xu Guangqi and the guy named Bi. So the loading speed had been greatly improved. There was no need to hit three times, just play two times, which brought greater pressure to the Mongolian Iron Cavalry.

The Mongolian cavalry in the front row could not bear the pressure, so they wanted to spread out in the direction of the wings before swimmering. However, the cavalry in the rear was still charging forward, causing the cavalry in the front to suffer.

The ten thousand cavalry led by Batel had completed the preparation for the reversal formation. Seeing that the cavalry led by Arislan were still competing with the infantry, they accelerated and rushed back.

When the cavalry led by Arislan realized that there was still a ten thousand cavalry behind him, it was too late. Although he turned his head and charged towards Bater's ten thousand cavalry, the distance at this moment could no longer allow the war horses to raise the speed. In this way, Arislan's ten thousand cavalry fell into a struggle, and even if the entire army was destroyed, it was only a matter of time.

The eight characters are damaged enough, and Chongzhen, who was not virtuous in the five elements, moved closer at this time. Seeing that the cavalry led by Aslan had been entangled, and Lin Danhan's royal court had lost its last defense power, he asked Liu Xingzuo beside him: "Anyway, there are not many infantrymen at this time, so it's better to give 10,000 to attack Lin Danhan's royal court. In this way, those cavalry will inevitably be distracted, and will it be more convenient at that time?"'
